THE devastated family of a man gunned down at a wake have made a desperate plea for witnesses to come forward.

Tyrone Gilbert, 23, died after drive-by gunmen opened fire on mourners in Longsight last month. He left behind three young sons and a pregnant girlfriend.

Tyrone's heartbroken mother Barbara Myrie, 52, pleaded for the gang culture to stop and appealed to 'true friends' of her son to help the police break the culture of silence.

Tyrone's childhood sweetheart, Lisa Norris, 23, added: "Say what you know, because this is wrong - how someone can go to a funeral and not come home."

Detectives have released a new image of a man they want to trace in connection with the murder.

He is described as black, 18-22-years-old, 5ft 8in of slim athletic build. He has black afro hair in individual cornrolls and was sweating profusely. His eyes are wide apart and he was wearing a white T-shirt. He was seen in the Bibby Lane area of Burnage, near to where one of the cars used in the murder was found abandoned.

A previous e-fit was issued of a man seen in the Firethorn Avenue area of Burnage where the green Honda Accord was found.

He is described as black, 20-25-years-old, 5ft 7in to 5ft 8in with drawn in cheeks, broad nose, pocked cheeks and crooked teeth with one tooth missing on the upper left side. He was wearing a dark hooded jacket zipped to the chin with a peaked hood, and black Nike Air trainers.
